“You don't expect your 5-9, 5-10 point guard to do that, but Pierre is really athletic,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “And the thing about him is he's a competitor. He didn't want Davies to get a shot to (force) overtime.”

The 6-foot-9 Davies, who scored 18 points and dominated the boards (13) for BYU, was as shocked as anyone.

“I had no idea where he came from,” Davies said. “I didn't see him at all.”

BYU (8-3) led by as many as 13 points in the first half thanks to 9-0 and 10-0 runs, and a huge advantage on the boards.

After 81/2 minutes, BYU held a 14-0 rebounding advantage

Baylor took a 65-64 lead after six straight points by Jones, then surged ahead 79-70.

OKLAHOMA 79, HOUSTON 74: In Oklahoma City, Steven Pledger had a game-high 31 points to lead the Sooners (8-1) to victory in the first game of the All College Classic.

Pledger was 10 for 13 from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, rendering an off night from the Sooners' inside tandem of Andrew Fitzgerald and Romero Osby irrelevant. The two combined to go 6 for 27 from the floor for a combined 15 points.

Houston (4-5) opened the second half on a 12-0 run and led by nine with 15:14 left, but the Sooners scored the next seven points to get back in the game and stage a comeback.
